Intuitive accounting with logical UI

As a tech savvy person (at least I like to think) it is really nice to see efficiency improvements, no more waiting for endless data to load slowly. Very much appreciate the seemingly continual logical improvements for how systems work, from new shortcuts being added to entire new optimized reports or functions for a regularly used function.

PROS

I love that Lookout is very forward thinking in terms of technology and continual quality of life improvements because their fundamental ideas for how Home Care should work is refreshing to see

CONS

The initial setup and implementation phase had all hands on deck and there is still support but with lengthier implementation times. It was in part already known and I don't have know how on the agreements we have with lookout but it is improved over previous software.

Reasons for switching to Lookout

The software was running into limitations with what it could provide and felt old. Loading screens continuously and lack of efficient navigation.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the lovely review, Bradley. Glad to hear you are enjoying Lookout.

It has promise, but is not NDIS ready.

The Lookout Way has potential. If I were providing aged care brokerage services, it would be great. Sadly it isn't suited for NDIS providers without serious hacks and compromises.

PROS

Great ticketing features and transparency between clients and workers.There are a lot of customisation options along with an APIAllows for self-booking.

CONS

It is designed mostly for managing contractors.The API is missing core features relating to invoicingInvoicing is difficult to navigate.Cancellations are not listed on proda export and are structured poorly as options.Care plans are essentially word templates rather than forms and cannot be created or updated in the field.There are a lot of hidden addon costsWorkers cannot fill out forms.There is no document tab. Documents can only be stored in client notes.Service agreements and quotes can not be managed within the platform.

Reasons for switching to Lookout

The Goodhuman app way glitchy and kept crashing on staff.

Vendor Response

CONS

it could be better to find most simple information and we lost how long someone has been with us so we lost a bit of history

Reasons for switching to Lookout

it was ending and we needed a better system

Vendor Response

Glad you are enjoying that platform Julie and thank you for expressing how it is a great addition to your business.
